Java

Dies ist ein informelles Treffen für Lernende, die ihre ersten Schritte in der Programmierung machen oder ihre Grundkenntnisse vertiefen möchten. *** This is an informal meetup, for learners that want to do their first steps in programming or want to consolidate their skills. We spend one hour and a half working on tutorials, exercises or projects. If you need help to get started, we will help you finding a good way for learning. You should be prepared to spend your time "doing things": just hanging around and listening might get boring, if all other people are learning on their side. There are experienced people are around and you can ask questions as soon as their arise or bring with you questions you have had during the week. During the last half an hour, we do a (simple) exercise together. We speak German, English, and a few other languages. Currently, how main programming languages are: * Python * Javascript * Java * Flutter * C++ * C * C# * PHP But you're free to learn any programming language during our Co-Learning! If you want to learn more about our Co-Learning, please have a look at our website (no frequent updates...): https://opentechschool-zurich.github.io/ If you're starting with Python, we can suggest: * Learning Python the hard way (https://learnpythonthehardway.org/python3/) (for Python 3). * The Solo Learn Python 3 Tutorial (https://www.sololearn.com/Course/Python/). * A big list of Python tutorials: https://docs.python-guide.org/intro/learning/ For Node.js: * Nodeschool: https://nodeschool.io/ For C++ * https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/C%2B%2B-Programmierung * https://www.sololearn.com/Course/CPlusPlus/

Welcome to the age of the Agentic Stack, where we bridge the gap between deterministic engineering and the new frontier of autonomous systems. We’ll explore how to build AI agents that fulfill the security, reliability, and automation requirements for the enterprise, and how the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is being rebuilt from the ground up by agentic IDEs. **THIS MEETUP will be in ENGLISH and HYBRID\. \|** Zoom Link is visible for remote attendees after registration. **\*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\*** * 6:30\-7:00 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\. * 7:00 PM \| Welcome & Intro **Start of the hybrid meetup** * 7:05 PM \| **The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the age of AI Agents** by Harald Seipp (Principal Client Engineering EMEA Solution Architect & STSM at IBM) & Thomas Südbröcker (Senior Engineer and Solution Architect at IBM) * around 8:05 PM \| **Mastering Multi-Agent Systems with the Agentic Layer** \- Florian Mallmann \(Senior Software Engineer at QAware\) * afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers. **\*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\*** **The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the age of AI Agents - Harald Seipp (Principal Client Engineering EMEA Solution Architect & STSM at IBM) & Thomas Südbröcker (Senior Engineer and Solution Architect at IBM)** This session explores how agentic AI is reshaping every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), transforming development workflows from requirements gathering to maintenance. Using IBM’s perspective on agentic IDEs, the presentation demonstrates how AI‑driven tools can autonomously understand context, plan and execute multi‑step tasks, generate code and tests, refactor across entire codebases, and assist in deployment and troubleshooting. Attendees will learn how these capabilities reshape developer roles, accelerate solution workshops and pilot builds, and enable teams to deliver more with fewer resources. Risks, best practices, and the evolving future of autonomous SDLC pipelines are also discussed, offering a pragmatic view of how to adopt agentic development responsibly and effectively. If time permits, we can also provide a brief look at agentic Ops, including a Kubernetes cluster administration live demonstration. **Mastering Multi-Agent Systems with the Agentic Layer - Florian Mallmann (Senior Software Engineer at QAware)** The software landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Agentic AI. While microservices operate deterministically, AI agents act probabilistically and often unpredictably, making them autonomous. This presents a significant challenge for platform engineers and DevOps teams. In this talk, we will demonstrate how our open source [Agentic Layer](https://github.com/agentic-layer) helps to develop agents that meet high enterprise standards for security and reliability. We will showcase a live demonstration of three critical pillars for robust AI development: * **Workload Orchestration:** Discover how we define modular agent logics and chain them together to create highly efficient, scalable workflows. * **Quality Plane (Testability):** Say goodbye to the "prompt lottery." We will demo how to implement automated test cases that make the output quality and logical correctness of your agents objectively measurable. * **Compliance Plane (Guardrails):** See "security through technology" in action. We'll show you how to write and deploy real-time guardrails that prevent personally identifiable information (PII) leaks and ensure strict adherence to regulatory requirements. Whether you are building your first agent or scaling an existing system, this live demo will give you practical insights into deploying safe, predictable, and high-performing AI applications. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please note that photos are taken during the meetup. If you do not want to appear in the photos, please contact the meetup team at the beginning of the event. \*\*\* Während unserer Meetups werden Fotos aufgenommen.

**Meditationsreihe: Fokus finden – Konzentration & Achtsamkeit stärken** Dienstags, 9. – 23. Juni 2026, 18:30-19:45Uhr im Volkshaus Zürich mit Gen Kelsang Devi (Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung), 25CHF www.kadampa.ch/zurich-city/ Unser Leben fühlt sich oft chaotisch und stressig an. Manchmal haben wir Mühe, unsere täglichen Aufgaben und Pflichten erfolgreich zu erledigen. Es mag helfen, unseren Lebensstil, unsere Routine oder unseren Job in irgendeiner Weise zu verändern, aber im Grunde genommen wird sich unser Leben immer überwältigend anfühlen, wenn wir es versäumen, unseren unruhigen, unkonzentrierten Geist zu adressieren. An diesen Meditationsabenden werden wir erkennen, wie ein abgelenkter, unruhiger Geist unsere Leistungsfähigkeit und unser Wohlbefinden einschränkt, während ein ruhiger, konzentrierter Geist uns glücklich und effizient macht. Wir werden lernen, was Konzentration ist, welche Vorteile sie hat und wie wir sie entwickeln können, sowohl in der Meditation als auch, und das ist entscheidend, in unserem täglichen Leben. **Themenliste** 9\. Juni 2026 \| Fokus finden 16\. Juni 2026 \| Ablenkungen loslassen 23\. Juni 2026 \| Achtsamkeit für den Alltag

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
